Biography
Dennis Miller was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on 3 November 1953, and he became a Saturday Night Live cast member in 1985. He subsequently hosted his own talk shows on HBO, CNBC, and in syndication; from 2007 to 2015, he hosted a daily, three-hour, self-titled talk radio program syndicated by Westwood One, in which he talked about current events and pop culture. In his early years of fame, he was often seen as a staunch liberal, but he had a conservative streak on some views. He began to change his politics in the early 1990s after liberal comedians made fun of Ross Perot's presidential running mate James Stockdale for a poor debate performance, saying that Stockdale, as a Vietnam War veteran, deserved more respect. By 1996, he had begun to identify as a "conservative-libertarian", and the liberal critiques of Mayor Rudy Giuliani's crime-fighting tactics in New York City continued to assist in his political realignment. After 9/11, he became a diehard libertarian, supporting George W. Bush's presidency and the Iraq War. However, he continued to hold liberal views on social issues such as abortion and same-sex marriage, and he became associated with the neoconservative movement.
